I am an American currently teaching English in Japan. I would like to use your Bingo Card Excel file to make vocabulary bingo game cards. I want to make cards that display the Japanese translations (using Japanese characters) of English vocabulary words.

Is it possible to modify the random numbers tables to return words or phrases as opposed to numbers?

Yes, create another sheet with numbers in column A. column B and C should be your words, English and Japanese. Then use the Random number rounded to a single digit to lookup using the VLOOKUP function the word that corresponds to that number. Switch between columns B and C to show English or Japanese words.

This is exactly what I am looking for but I can’t figure out how to change the 3-card format. I want 4 cards on top of each other. How do I do that? Copy and paste did not work and I can’t figure out how to adjust the formuala for the additional card.

Excellent! Thank you very much for your help!
Because I want to print 240 cards for my wedding used, will the number repeat? Because I only wanted 20 people who can have the prize I prepared. Please can help me?

Thank you for sharing this. I am using this for a community party I am helping to plan. It was so much easier to use this and add pictures to it then trying to create it on my own. I appreciate you sharing this for everyone to use.

This is a great idea! I have a question which might throw a monkey wrench in the works. I would like to use the bingo cards for a classroom activity. I am using a random number generator and have all my words in (so far, so good), but I also want to associate picture with each word, so I can play the game with kindergarten classes, but I am at a loss as to how to go about it! Any suggestions? Thanks for any advice you can give.

We play Safety Bingo at work and I have used this for years to generate my cards. I had originally setup the sheet to print 4 to a page. I recently added 4 more cards to the sheet so I could print 8 cards to a page. But on my new cards I sometimes get duplicate numbers on the same cards. I thought I had adjusted all the formulas correctly. Any ideas on why I could get duplicate numbers on the same cards?
